晏殊·《浣溪沙·一曲新词酒一杯》英译

一曲新词酒一杯，<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

去年天气旧亭台。

夕阳西下几时回？

无可奈何花落去，

似曾相识燕归来。

小园香径独徘徊。

Silk-Washing Stream

Yan Shu

A song filled with new words, a cup filled with old wine,

The bower is last year's, the weather is as fine.

Will last year reappear as the sun on decline?

Deeply I sigh for the fallen flowers in vain;

Vaguely I seem to know the swallows come again.

In fragrant garden path alone I still remain.
